“Yes,” she said.

“Climb onto my back,” I instructed.

I let go of her and turned around. She reached for me, gripping my shoulders as her legs wrapped around my waist again. Our long hair floated around us, tangling together as she rested her chin on my shoulder. It would be easier to swim this way.

I would take her to my home and show her how beautiful everything was. I knew she would love it.

I hoped she would want to stay.

“How will I see once we go deeper?”

“Your eyes will adjust. We don’t live in complete darkness,” I explained. “Hold on tight.”

“I will,” she promised.

I smiled and swam, my tail moving powerfully and propelling us through the water. I took us over the rocky edge of a canyon, diving deeper through the open. I welcomed the coolness, the silence that followed too.

Coral clung to the sides of the canyon, many fish bustling about their own cities. Eels hid, waiting to strike for their next meal. Seawhips sprang, their orange branches reaching for the soft light that filtered down from the surface.

Over the years, some reefs had lost their coral. As the humans crept more into our world, more damage was done. I sighed as we passed patches that were devoid of life, no longer alive the way they had been not long ago. Their beautiful colors were gone, bleached ghostly white like skeletons.

“What’s wrong?” she asked softly.

“Our world is changing,” I said.

“Because of us,” she sighed.

I nodded and quickened our pace, taking us down until we came to the mouth of a cave. She let out a soft squeak as I went into it, going through the dark passages until I came through another opening.

“Oh,” she whispered in wonder.

This passage was one of many that led to our hidden city. Hidden within a pocket between two canyons was where my people lived. There were other places around the world just like this, out of sight from the humans and safe from natural predators.

The city comprised caves and stone, built in a way that was similar to human towns. I spotted other sirens as I took her towards my home, ignoring their curious glances at the human I carried with me.

It wasn’t unusual for one of us to bring a human here, but it was for me. I was a prince, from the royal bloodline, and that meant that everyone would want to know about the woman holding onto me.

Including my parents.

But not now. Not yet.

This was just our first date.

“There are so many others,” she whispered. “They’re beautiful. All of the different types of tails.”

“Yes,” I chuckled, slowing as we came to my home. I went through the front door, one that appeared open but would keep anyone else out because of the magic I used. “This is my home,” I said, releasing her.

She slid off my back and twirled in the water, her longer hair moving around her. “Wow,” she whispered, looking around. “You like to collect things.”

I did. My home was full of human trinkets, some ancient and others very new. The sea was full of many treasures.

“I do,” I said, smiling as she moved around. I watched her, my eyes falling to the shape of her ass in her wet clothes.

I wanted to take them off of her.

I bit my lower lip as I watched her, doing my best to chase that thought away. The one that made me want to claim her, to hear her screams of pleasure as I drove her to the edge of release.

The front of my home was a spacious room with shelves and a collection of items. There was another doorway that led to where I slept.
